People often think that their hair could be so much more beautiful than it is. The reason for this is that many people simply do not do what it takes to keep their hair healthy. If you are one of these people, do not stay this way. Keep reading for tips on how to change.
A healthy body is more likely to produce healthy hair. Keep your hair healthy from outside and in by consuming good foods and taking in lots of fresh water. Consuming lots of whole grains, leafy vegetables, fruits, lean meat and omega-3 rich foods will help to keep your hair shiny, healthy and strong.
If you’re fond of wearing your hair back in a ponytail, be sure not to tie your hair back in the same place on your head each time. If you repeatedly wear your hair in a ponytail, your hair is likely to break. If you need to tie your hair when working, give your hair breaks by untying it during non-working hours.
Stay away from heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. This only weighs your hair down giving it a thinner appearance. Light conditioners work better to add volume, without making the hair greasy or heavy.
Your diet may be to blame if you find that your hair is lifeless or dull. Incorporating lots of omega-3 acids, vitamins, iron and other nutrients is critical for healthy hair. Consider a multivitamin if you can not ingest enough of these vital nutrients into your daily diet.
Blow Dryer
Do not use a blow dryer if you do not want to dry your hair out. The heat from a blow dryer can damage your hair, giving it a frizzy look. Rather, keep the hair wrapped up in a towel as long as you can. This lets your hair dry naturally, and keeps the frizz at bay.
One way to protect your hair from sun damage is to use hair care products that include sunscreen. Any advantages you may get from proper hairdressing can be swiftly undone by the sun’s damaging rays. Protecting your hair properly can also increase its longevity and maintain your color.
To give your hair that look that says you just came out of the ocean, look for products that can mimic this look. Keep an eye out for bottles called “salt spray”, or something like that. You can create your own ocean waves at home. Simply add a teaspoon of table or kosher salt in several ounces of water. If desired, you can also add lavender oil (ten drops) for a pleasant scent and moisturizing effect.
As you can see, there are many great things you can to improve the look of your hair. Planning is key. So take a step back and decide what type of techniques you’re going to use for your hair care.
